Benriach - 15 Year Old Pedro Ximenez Finish

Benriach – 15 Year Old Pedro Ximenez Finish
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 15 Year Old.   Strength: 46%
Summary: Matured in the traditional style in American bourbon barrels, this whisky is then ‘finished’ in Pedro Ximenez Sherry butts, sourced from the bodegas of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalucia, Southern Spain. During this second period of maturation the whisky derives many interesting characteristics specific to the Pedro Ximenez butt.
Nose: Honey, sultanas, dark chocolate with a flood of Pedro Ximenez Sherry.
Colour: Gold.
Taste: Cream and honey, infused with papaya, rosehips, eucalyptus and dark chocolate, all interwoven with rich Pedro Ximenez Sherry and oak wood.
BENRIACH DISTILLERY
FOR DISCERNING INDIVIDUALS:It’s not often a long kept secret is revealed in the world of Single Malt Scotch Whisky – but here is a true discovery! Since 1898, the BenRiach distillery has very quietly been producing quality Single Malt Scotch Whisky, which has only ever been enjoyed in very small quantities, by a few discerning individuals who have been fortunate enough to come across a bottle.
Today, BenRiach continues to produce its very special Single Malt Whiskies, as an Independent Distiller.
UNIQUE AMONGST MANY:The BenRiach Distillery is located in the ‘Heart of Speyside’, between the village of Rothes and the town of Elgin, in the North-East of Scotland. The Spey Valley, in which the BenRiach Distillery was built by John Duff in 1898, is home to many of Scotland’s great whiskies, but BenRiach has its own uniqueness borne from the particular methods and skills of the men who craft the whisky, the ingredients they use, the distinctive copper stills and high quality barrels selected for maturation.
“I am often asked what makes BenRiach special. There is no one thing, but the starting point has to be reputation and legacy. Then you must take the astonishing skills of the men who craft the whisky, the ingredients we use, the copper stills, the high-quality casks, our rich and varied inventory and our broad range of peated and non-peated expressions. To these you must add independence, enthusiasm, creativity and a real passion for whisky craftsmanship. As a result you get what I call a “heavenly explosion” – a sensational, unique, complex tour de force.
Master Distiller, Billy Walker.

Benriach – 1994 Uk Exclusive Cask # 4386
Country: Scotland   Region: Highlands
Age: 19 Years   Strength: 55%
Summary: Cask Type: Virgin Oak Hogshead.
Cask Style: Virgin Oak finish.
Colour: Rich harvest gold.
Nose: A perfect balance of toasted oak spices and sweet barley. Waves of ripped fresh mint and sweet gooseberries add a delicate fruit background.
Taste: A powerful richly oaked character develops into waves of toasted coconut and fruit salad. Vanilla and barley sugar fill the mouth in the classically long sweet oak finish.

Caol Ila - Stitchell Reserve/2013 Release

Caol Ila – Stitchell Reserve/2013 Release
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age:    Strength: 59.6%
Summary: A limited edition, natural cask strength single malt. From Caol Ila, an active distillery on the Isle of Islay. A eighth limited release of unpeated Caol Ila. From a batch made only once a year, from unpeated malt, for blending in the ‘Highland Style’. From a mix of refill American Oak, rejuvenated American Oak and ex-bodega European Oak casks, so interesting to compare with expressions from first fill Bourbon previously released at 8, 10 and 12 years old and a 14 year old from ex-bodega oak, released in 2012.
Appearance: Clear, olive gold. Light beading.
Nose: At full strength, immediately clean, aromatic and fresh: like inhaling Friar’s Balsam. After this first blast, more reticent; softly sweet, then a vivid freshness like that of crisp green fruit or lemon zest. Water raises a fruity, nutty honeyed sweetness and a faint note of treacle, with perhaps just a hazy hint of smoke.
Body: Light to medium. Oily, yet firm.
Palate: Drinks well straight; has an intense and in your face style, with a most appealing smooth, lightly oily texture. Firm, clean and fresh throughout. Intense and mouth-filling, with a great initial surge of sweet spiciness unaccompanied by the usual signature phenols of peated Caol Ila or indeed, much fruit. Becoming honey-nutty (nut brittle, with a dark edge of treacle bitterness) then finally, warming and drying. A good splash of water develops these flavours; it’s tongue- coating and appetisingly bitter-sweet now, leaving a spicy dryness as the tide of flavour ebbs.
Finish: Aromatic, spicy and drying; a balancing bitter edge embraces more of the soft nutty, biscuity notes, always maintaining that essential freshness overall.

Cardhu - 21 Year Old/2013 Release

Cardhu – 21 Year Old/2013 Release
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age:    Strength: 54.2%
Summary: A limited edition, natural cask strength single malt. From the renowned Cardhu distillery on Speyside. A second limited release in this series. Interesting to compare with the 22 year old 1982, released in 2005. From ex-bourbon American Oak casks filled in 1991.
Appearance: Old gold; richer amber depths. Good beading.
Nose: Mild and at first quite shy. An early creamy, fruity note of vanilla and boiled sweets (bubble gum!) is faintly underscored by a rich, floral perfume with a cleansing edge. The creamy fruitiness persists as dried figs, rum- and-raisin ice cream, red apple skins and beeswax. Later a malty, biscuity base layer is revealed, as the cleansing edge becomes a sharply defined top layer. Overall, it’s a richer vanilla custard and fruit trifle creaminess that emerges. Water opens things out, raising both fruit and floral scents slightly, the boiled sweets now mandarin-flavoured.
Body: Fine and light.
Palate: At natural strength, smooth and savoury, with light acidity. Clean, refined, pleasantly drying and delicate. Then wonderfully aromatic with notes of black cherry; growing spicy, warming and elegant, with nutty, dark chocolate offset by buttery shortbread. It’s even softer with a drop of water. Now the taste starts cooler and sweeter; still savoury (mint on a fresh fruit salad) but also newly spicy across the tongue.
Finish: Long, aromatic and warming; smooth vanilla balanced by juicy tangerine and faint orange oil with spicy cedar, late silky-smooth dryness and a wisp of smoke.

Singleton Of Dufftown - 28 Year Old/2013 Release

Singleton Of Dufftown – 28 Year Old/2013 Release
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside
Age: 28 Year Old.   Strength: 52.3%
Summary: A limited edition, natural cask strength single malt. From Dufftown, an active distillery on Speyside. A first limited cask strength release of The Singleton in this series. From American Oak refill casks filled in 1985.
Appearance: Deep antique gold. Good beading.
Nose: Grand and mild; compact yet detailed, with ripe apple and pear fruit or perhaps beeswax and heather pollen, and scents of moorland herbs. Quite autumnal, with faint smoke and a savoury cereal note, and like an old dusty library carrying scents of wax and worn leather. Later, orange oil underscores the complex floral notes. In time some vanilla develops, becoming intense buttercream. Water lightens it considerably and brings out the malty, cereal character (like being in a grain loft), with leafy strawberries, more waxiness and the merest trace of smoke.
Body: Oily, dense.
Palate: At natural strength, this malt has a big, oily feel; sweet and reminiscent of a whole wheat breakfast cereal coated with honey. The initial effect is warming, with an instantly appetising astringency. Below this lie minty and faintly smoky notes and rich chewy liquorice with a digestive biscuit sweetness. It’s all sweeter and less oily with water; losing that piercing aromatic dryness and with the cereal note dimmed, it’s altogether gentler and more approachable.
Finish: Invigorating, warming and gloriously astringent at the end, with notes of pine and cedar to leave the palate tingling over a lingering last wisp of smoke.

Glendronach - 1990 Uk Exclusive Cask # 1240

Glendronach – 1990 Uk Exclusive Cask # 1240
Country: Scotland   Region: Highlands
Age: 23 Year Old.   Strength: 50%
Summary: Cask Type: Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon.
Colour: Dark oak with glinting gold.
Nose: Rich toffee and toasted almonds with stewed barley over a chocolate-raisin richness.
Taste: Huge dark raisins and stewed plums with a complex balance of herbs and spices. Espresso coffee and cocoa beans with hints of sweet barley sugar explode on the palate.
GlenDronach Distillery: In 1826 the exuberant and extroverted James Allardice founded the distillery and produced his ‘Guid GlenDronach’ single malt.
In 2008, nothing less than a complete renaissance began. The BenRiach Distillery Company Ltd. became GlenDronach’s proud new owner.
While time can never stand still, their commitment will now ensure that the distinctive practices that have always defined GlenDronach will live on – the most influential of these being its independent ownership.
Independent ownership now gives them the freedom to rekindle the reputation of GlenDronach as the distiller of richly sherried single malt whiskies of inimitable and individual character. It’s a reputation that has travelled worldwide – to those in the know, it’s a well-kept secret.
They have re-launched the ever popular 12 year old Original, together with the already celebrated 33 year old. And they are hugely excited to reinstate a new edition 15 and 18 year old.
From the germination of the barley, to the flow of the purest middle cuts distilled spirit, every step in the GlenDronach journey is taken with meticulous care and immaculate timing.
Their glistening copper top mash tun and great Oregon pine wash backs form part of a carefully attended process.
Then, their four copper pot stills distil and re-distil the finest, richest spirit.
What follows is the final secret of GlenDronachs exceptional character.
Then, and only then are the whiskies ready to be bottled.
As was the case in 1826, The GlenDronach Distillery patiently matures its single malt whisky in superior quality sherry casks, hand crafted from European oak, by the most reputable and renowned bodegas in the south of Spain.
Over the years of extended maturation these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that GlenDronach is famous for.

Country: Scotland   Region: Highlands
Age: 19 Year Old.   Strength: 56.8%
Summary: Cask Type: Oloroso Sherry Butt.
Colour: Rich crimson edged with gold.
Nose: Stewed plums and dates, spiced with cinnamon, black pepper and gentle nutmeg.
Taste: A full-bodied, robust sherry character holds a balance of dark dried prunes, raisins, sultanas and rich toasted spices. Roasted coffee bean and dark chocolate infuse with delicate herb notes in a long earthy finish.

Lagavulin - 12 Year Old/2013 Release

Lagavulin – 12 Year Old/2013 Release
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age:    Strength: 55.1%
Summary: A limited edition, natural cask strength single malt whisky. From the essential Islay distillery, Lagavulin, on Islay’s rocky south coast. Twelfth in a series of special 12 year old releases from the original distiller’s stocks. Vatted from refill American Oak casks, each at least 12 years old.
Appearance: Extremely pale green-gold.
Nose: Soft, beguiling and cautious at first, when an appetising sharpness slowly crystallises into red berry fruit, then developing soft, savoury aromas and a delicious smoky sweetness. Savoury hints of charred baked potato skins cooked in a bonfire come first, then peat smoke and a box of spent matches come through. Later still, there are teasing, oily hints of sharp tropical fruit (lime pickle?). These aromas are altogether softer with water; less tense and underscored by youthful sweetness. There are smoky-fresh notes, then raisins and dried fruit, with distant wood smoke.
Body: Light. Oily.
Palate: Cooling at first, then salty, drying and dusty, with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. Beautifully cleansing, like a salad of tarragon and peppery rocket, then really appetizing, as if a char-grilled endive splashed with peppery olive oil. The charred notes then strengthen, into smoky wax. Sweeter with water and more accessible, as captivating notes of aniseed and fennel seeds give way to charred fruit scones and burnt jam tarts.
Finish: Simultaneously sweet and savoury, dominated by pungent smoke and appetising aniseed. With growing warmth, it becomes oily near the end. With water it is sweet and abrupt with subdued smoke; pleasantly drying and piney.

Malt Tasting: Tormore 28 Year Old – Single Cask (Master of Malt)

February 8, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Malt Tasting: Tormore 28 Year Old - Single Cask (Master of Malt)

Malt Tasting: Tormore 28 Year Old – Single Cask (Master of Malt)

Tormore is a comparatively modern distillery, having been built in 1958 and completed in 1960.
Being the first 20th century distillery to be built in the Highlands, it generated a lot of interest.

The architect of the new distillery was Sir Albert Richardson, the president of the Royal Academy and the distillery buildings are so pretty that the distillery’s appearance has been likened to a spa.

If you don’t believe me, have a look on Google streetview!

It currently has eight stills, heated by wood chips, a by-product of area’s forestry.

This is a great malt and if you feel your taste buds have got a bit tired, then try this.

They’ll feel like they’ve been on holiday!

Tormore 28 Year Old :-
Distilled: 24th February 1984 (bourbon barrel.)
Drawn: 21st November 2012.
Number of bottles: 182.

Tasting Notes


Tormore 28 Year Old
Single Cask
(Master of Malt)
Nose: Sweet, woody, spicy aromas, hint of nutmeg and sweet coffee.

Palate: Rich, syrupy fruit like long, long simmered jam mixture.

Finish: Creamy, golden sweetness with a heavenly spice hit.

Overall: This Tormore 28 Year Old has a broad range of powerful flavours which are combined beautifully. A malt like this just doesn’t come along that often. Breathtaking!
